Losing a Mind

Well here is chapter three. Sorry I haven't updated my story. But a hurt foot makes me not want to go to the desktop and sit cause that is where I started the lastest chapter to The Married Life. Warning to those who are accident prone never drop a fire extinguisher on your foot. It will hurt like hell. Well now that, that tip is done and over with on with the story. Enjoy.

I felt like I was losing my mind. I went to work the day after the accident and then when I came home things weren't where I had put them. Or so I thought I put them. It was making me go mad. I thought I was really sick. But I didn't have time to worry about that. I had too much already. Every time Duke and I went to the park people would stop me and tell me how smart of a dog I had for saving those two little girls. I was proud of him too.

If it hadn't been for Duke who knows what would have happened to those girls. I was very proud of him. He even got an award from the chief of police for his good deed. He had his medal in his bed with him and he would sleep with it. I couldn't have been more lucky to have a pup like him.

After two weeks I needed to know how the girls were doing. But I didn't know how to get a hold of them. Duke seemed a little sad and he too was probably worried about the girls. I sighed and went on with life. I got Duke his dinner and was about to make me some when my cell went off. I looked at it and then answer. "Hello?" I asked.

It was silent and then I heard a voice. "Ms. Rin would you like to come over for dinner? Saori and I would like to see you." Kaori asked. I smiled. "Please? Its the only way to thank you." She said to me. "Oh Kaori it wasn't me who found you. It was Duke you should really thank him." I said to the sweet girl on the phone. "Oh silly Ms. Rin you have to bring him too. Please come?" She begged. I looked at the clock. It was pretty late for me to be up anyway with work in the morning.

I sighed. "Kaori I have to work in the morning. But I can do tomorrow night. Will that be ok? I promise to bring Duke." I said to the girl. I heard what sounded like a hum and then and giggle. "Ok but you have to come. Ok?" She asked me. I laughed. "I promise Duke and I will be over tomorrow." She told me good night and I did the same.

I went to bed that night with a smile knowing I would get to see the girls and get to see if they were both recovering. It has been hard not knowing what they were doing or if they were ok. But tonight I would finally get a good nights sleep.

The next morning was hard. I got up got dressed fed Duke and then myself. I grabbed my purse which somehow ended up in the bathroom and not in the living room where I thought I had left it. I sighed. "Things will get better. I'm sure of it." I said and then grabbed my cell which was in the Kitchen but I was pretty sure I took it to bed with me. I sighed and then told Duke I would see him later on.

I got on the bus and watched as the people went about their days going to work or coming home. It was so strange. But I was ready to go to work and be done with the day. I really just wanted to go see the girls and make sure they were ok.

I was getting off the bus when my phone went off. It was a text from the landlord. He was reminding me about my lease. I smiled and as I was about to text back he calls. "Yes Koga tell Ayame I got it. I don't know why you bother with the text part when you know she is just gonna make you call me?" I said as I stopped by a coffee stand to get my usual coffee. I paid the man and went on with the phone conversation.

"You know how she is. Your one of her best friends and she doesn't want you to lose your home. What can I say?" He said as he went on about how annoying she is and how he can't wait for when Kagome came running into his arms. I rolled my eyes and then I saw Kagome herself. I mouthed Koga's name and she left quickly.

"Koga I love talking an all. But I have to work. Talk later and just put the papers in my mail box. I will look them over when I get home. Bye love you both." I said and then hung up. "You know he loves Ayame so why hide?" I asked her as Kagome made her way back. She scuffed. "Tell Ayame that. I'm lucky she even likes me. I did nothing to lead him on and he claims me as his girl. Eww..." She said and then sat down beside me. "Oh by the way he's in a mood." She said and I just sighed and went about my work.

I check on patients and then went about filling my papers. I was in the middle of a run when Dr. Lee came up beside me. "Rin I need to talk to you. Dinner tonight." He said. He was about to walk away when I spoke up. "No." I said. He turned around and looked at me. "Excuse me?" He asked me. I stood my ground. "I said no. You are no longer my husband and I have plans with someone else." I said and then went on with my rounds.

The whole day Dr. Lee was watching me when he could. I didn't like and neither did Kagome. She had reported his incident to the chief staff. The rest of the day was normal. I was about to clock out when I noticed a familiar face. "Well if it isn't Mr. Bossy." I said to the man. I remembered him from the night of Saori's accident. He scratched the back of his head.

"About that, look I am so sorry. It's just see the girls are the only nieces I have and they mean a lot to me. I know it sounds weird but I have always been there for them. I'm not trying to put my brother down or anything. It's just he always had to work and when their mother wanted "alone time" I was there with them." I smiled.

"Hey I get it. Your the Uncle with no kids of his own. You've been there from day one and it hurts to know this happened and there wasn't anything you can do for them. I understand." I told him. He nodded. It was so hard to tell someone something like that. I understood all to well what it's like to lose loved ones. Kagome was clocking out when the Uncle or Saori and Kaori looked at her. I looked between the two and cleared my throat.

He gave me his attention and Kagome was a little confused. "Sorry it's just you look some much like my girlfriend." He said. Kagome frowned and then sighed. "Let me guess Kikyo?" She asked. He nodded and then she sighed again. "Yeah, she's my older sister." She said and then hugged me bye. I said bye and made my way out.

"Oh by the way names..." He stopped when I stopped. "Your name is Inuyasha Toshiro. I know who you are." I said and he was a little taken back. "How do you know me?" He asked as he caught up to me. I sighed. "You were in the class above mine. It's how you met Kikyo in high school." I said to him.

He seemed impressed. "So you know me from school. Which has been forever. But I don't know you." He said. I stopped in my tracks and turned to him. "I'm the girl Kikyo said was being mean to her and so you sent your friend Naraku to teach me a lesson." I said and then made my way to the exit.

"Wait. Sesshomaru wants me to bring you over. I'm sorry if I was mean in high school. But I have changed." He said to me. I looked at him and then at the road. "Fine but we have to go get Duke." I said. He nodded and then took me to his car.

We made our way to my apartment. I invited him up and he came. Opening the lobby door. I went up the stairs and went to my apartment. "I'm surprised they don't have an elevator in this building." Inuyasha said. I smiled. "Eight floors is a long way up and down to walk every day." He told me. I opened the apartment door and that was when Inuyasha got in front of me and went in. I huffed and followed only to get pushed back out in the hall.

I waited for him to come get me. When he did he was on the phone and I made my way into my apartment only to find that it had been broke into. I panicked and then went to my closet. There was no sign of Duke. I looked everywhere and he was gone.

I went back into the hall and Inuyasha hung up his cell and looked at me. "He's gone. Duke's gone." I said. It took all I had not to cry. Duke was my baby and I didn't want to lose him. Inuyasha was about to say something when Ayame came up the stairs. "He sure is a hyper little guy." She said as she came over to me. I picked him up and looked at her.

She smiled at me. "Sorry I came back so late. I decided to keep him the whole day. Hope that's ok? I know you usually want him home but he was crying when you left so I just kept him. Sorry ab..." I cut her off. "Thank you!" I said to her and hugged her. She hugged me back and then Inuyasha filled her in and then the cops took a statement and told me to stay at a friends place. I nodded and Inuyasha took me to go get dinner.

"So I'm not losing my mind." I said and then I seen Inuyasha look at me. "Sorry its just I thought these past two weeks I had been losing my mind. But really someones been breaking into my house at night." I said and then Inuyasha slammed on his breaks. "Ouch!" I said as I grabbed my neck. "I'm a nurse not a doctor." I said to him.

"Did you tell the police about the other break ins?" He asked me. I raised and eyebrow and nodded. "Good. Because people like that need to be stopped." He said to me and then he continued driving.
"Who ever the nut job is he sure does like his cologne." Inuyasha told me. I rolled my eyes at him. "It's one of those knock off brands. It was strong in every room except your kitchen." He said.

I looked at Inuyasha. "What did you say?" I asked him as he pulled up to a house and got out. He let me and Duke out and then walked me to the door. "I said the smell was strong in every room except the kitchen. Why what's the matter?" He asked me as he entered the house. "I know who broke into my house." I said to him. Inuyasha froze and looked at me. "Who?" He asked me. I looked up and before I realized we had an audience I told him. "My ex-husband."

Well here is chapter three. I hope its better then the last one. Well that's it for the night. I will give you more on this story tomorrow. Bye.
